Hello again. Branching off from the "where will the scene be" thread I was wondering if a site and forum sort out may not help the flow of releases somewhat?
In my eyes the scene will likely rarely shrink or grow in terms of talent, instead seeing a constant flow of leavers and joiners, but if the main site were to become an archive to deserving releases and the forums perhaps re-shaped into better categories, would that not make things better?
I mean, really, how many of the categories here do you visit? The FPS section seems useless, as conversation may as well move to homebrew games and, likewise, with the amount of releases we see, would there be any harm in joining categories like games and apps together?
With fewer people seeming to use DCEmu for news updates, would it not be easier to follow releases than by cutting the board numbers down?
And if the main site was made to look more appealing, was organised into simple to navigate sections, and possibly even included reviews and articles would it not both make it easier for newbies and legends alike to discover some of the excellent homebrew out there, as-well-as possibly helping to create more discussion?
I may just be rambling, but see if you can't see some sense in there...

-Dreamcast Emulation and Games
-Dreamcast Applications and Programming
-Dreamcast Mod's and Reapairs

-Non-DC Homebrew and Emu's

-Off Topic and Current Events

I take it that would be too extreme for some people?! Yes?! No?! Let's hear all suggestions and maybe find a common ground we could put to the admin's, if others even feel like we need a change at all!?

Keep Programming Discussion and Development Ideas.
Just because you don't go there, doesn't mean others don't. And I would hate to see valid programming questions get lost in the "Flash of the Week" posts of OT or see PD drown in "Prot this fro me" requests.

I agree with everything Metaf...um...I mean Doofus said. Beyond the redundancy of having a FPS and Quake forum, the rest is actually pretty organized. I'd also recommend getting rid of the poll forum, since nobody on staff wants to do it and not many people in the forums participate anyway.

That is true. A new website should be started. Since BlackAura has said that emulation is not important and only homebrew is, then why not start a new website named Dreamcast Homebrew? Even though this website is named Dreamcast Emulation, emulation is not important. Is that not correct BlackAura?

God you're an idiot.
